Another Oklahoma quarterback is electing to head elsewhere.
Just a couple of weeks after backup quarterback Tanner Mordecai announced he would be entering the transfer portal, fellow quarterback Chandler Morris has announced via Twitter that he will be doing the same.
I want to thank Coach Riley, the staff and the University of Oklahoma for the opportunity they gave me. After much thought, prayer and discussion with my family, I have decided to leave OU. I will forever be indebted to this great program. Thank you and God Bless.

Morris appeared in five games in his true freshman season in 2020, completing three of his five passes for 39 yards. Though his highlight of the year was not a pass, but a touchdown run he had to get the Sooners a quick lead in the Big 12 Championship Game.
Out of Highland Park, Texas, Morris was rated a three-star recruit by Rivals and committed to Oklahoma after originally announcing his intention to go to Arkansas where his father Chad Morris was the head coach.
A talented player with no clear path to playing time, this seems like a logical move for him and will surely have suitors across the country. Sooners Wire will update on his landing spot when the information becomes available.
